Impact

With the Teaching Excellence Framework being implemented across England, a lot of higher education institutions have started to ask questions about what it means to be “excellent” in teaching. In particular, with the rich and complex data that all educational institutions gather that could potentially capture learning gains, what do we actually know about our students’ learning journeys? What kinds of data could be used to infer whether our students are actually making affective (e.g., motivation), behavioural (e.g., engagement), and/or cognitive learning gains? Please join us on 22 January 2018 in lovely Milton Keynes at a free OU- and HEFCE-supported event on Using data to increase learning gains and teaching excellence.

This open event brings together nearly two and half years of research on learning gains and teaching excellence, across numerous institutions, also including University of Surrey, Oxford Brookes University, and The Open University (http://abclearninggains.com). This one-day event is a great opportunity to share expertise, research insights, and policy insights. If you want to contribute and share your research or practice in form of a lightning presentation (1-2 minutes quick presentation), please let us know your preliminary title and 100 words summary, and send this to jekaterina.rogaten@open.ac.uk.

You can register for this free event here. Please note that places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. The live-stream of the event will become available here.
